THE STATE EGIsLATGK E

The Silver State says: 1t is some
what remarkable that the APPEAL,
which found so much to commend
in the Legislature while 1t was in
session, cannot now name at least
one good act which it has done for
the State
The APPEAL is free to admit that
it can find very little to commend

In the fact that there were too many

were young men who bad a vague
notion that they ought to get into
politics. They had no idea of what
they were there for; beyond their

a frivolous, narrow-minded crew,
and hardly to be held responsible
for their short comings. The points
of a bill were never seriously con-
considered by them at all. The
first question in their minds was
whether or not the author of the
bill had voted for their bill or not.
They never seemed to look beyond
that.

Of course, very little Legislative
good can be expected to come out
of such poor timber as this sort of
talk would indicate. The idea of
getting even on some one
seemed to be the ruling passion.
We believe this is the result of the

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 2.-Samuef
G. Reed was killed by file of United
States soldiers yesterday. Reed was
well educated, physically powerful, and
scion of one of the best families in Ala
bama. He enlisted as private soldier
in the United States army, and was sub
sequently stationed at Fort Brown, near
the mouth of the Rio Grande. Accom-
panied by a comrade, Williams, he de-
serted and crossed to Matamoras, where
he killed and robbed a rich jeweler
named Black. He and his companion
were arrested ard condemned to death.
but escaped. Reed went to California
and Arizona, slew a couple of men
there and finally drifted back to San
Antonio, where he was arrested on the
charge of deSertion and turned over to
the military authorities. Yesterday Reed,
under heavy guard, left his prison for
the hall where the military court sat.
On the way he made desperate effort
to escape. He paid no attention to the
command to halt and was fired upon. A
bullet entered his right side, and he
bounded into the air and fell mortally
wounded. In death-bed confession
Reed admitted his connection with the
murder OF Black which he had up to

Pierre Court Cases.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, Dak., June Court has been
In session here three days and a number
OF old cases have been disposed of. The
jury to-day rendered verdict of 81 for
the defendant in the First National
bank of Sioux City VS.. V. E. Prentice.
The bank tried to recover payment on
some notes amounting to 81, 500. 1t was
proved the bank was charging usury.
The most sensational case probably to
come up is j. T. Brink VS.. Richardson q
Hallemback, druggists, of Pierre, for
defamation of character. About year
ago Mrs. j. Il. Brink and her mother
were accused of stealing goods from
Richardson Il Hallemback'S store. The
accusation caused great CONSERVATION
i'll social circles, as the ladies had hith-
erto borne spotless reputation, and
were very prominent in society and in
fiuential members in the Episcopal
church. Richardson d Hallemback are
gentlemen of unimpeachable charac-
ter, and claim to have proof. Develop
ments of sensational character are
looked for at the trial.

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.
They Greatly Embarrass the In
surance Companies.

Surance companies.
NEW YORK, June 2.-Rumors of fail
ures of fire insurance companies were
flying about thick and fast among in
surance men yesterday. They were
caused by the three large fires of last
week, the Belt Line car stables, Palm
er'S cooperage in williamsburg and
John Il. Richards warehouse at West
and King streets, on each of which GER
tain companies which had already sus-
tanned large losses this year had unusu-
ally big lines. In the five months since
Jan. the +. number of fires entailing
large losses has been greater than in
any similar period since the many fires
in the dry goods district in 1879. The
result has been that several companies
have been ''hard hit" as the expression
is, and If they do not Succumb they will
probably be obliged to pass one or two
dividends. The largest loser in the
fires of the last week was the Phoenix
company, of London. 1t had line of S2S,-
750 on the Belt Line car stables and S47,-
500 on the Williamsburg cooperage, and
its total loss on the two cannot fall short
of 100000. Thesesare abnormallyaalarge
amounts to place on single risks. An
other of the companies which are said to
be affected by the recent fires is the Fire
association of New York. This was Or
ganized less than a year ago with a small
capital, and has made specially of
placing large lines, running as high as
$4,000. Early in March it had two large
losses, and was involved to the extent of
$4,000 in the Williamsburg cooperage
fire and 900 in the King street ware
house blaze. The American Insurance
company placed SSO,0OO on the building,
which is owned by Booth & Edgar, and
is damaged $4,000, and the Liverpool
and London and Globe, Scottish Union,
